Timer recording using the ShowView programming system

This system makes programming timer recordings very simple. Most TV guides publish ShowView programming numbers with their program details. If you want to make a timer recording of a program, you just input the corresponding code. The date, start, stop and channel settings are made automatically. All you have to do is tell the recorder the recording mode, and whether it’s a once-only recording or a regular recording.

CLEAR

•Press REC MODE to change the recording quality (see also Setting the picture quality/recording time on page 46). If Manual Recording is on, then you can also select the MN setting.

• Use the	(cursor left/right) buttons to select the
Once, Daily or Weekly recording option.
• Use the	and	buttons to switch VPS/PDC On
or Off.

2After making the settings, press ENTER. The program details are shown at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds then the screen is automatically exited.

•If you haven’t set up the guide channels (or at least the guide channel for the ShowView programming number that you entered), the recorder will prompt you to enter the channel number that the TV program is showing on.
